We made the comparison of the results of this test with average scores of Standardization of Kyoto Development Test standardization. The following three points were established. 1) Due to different language culture and different rearing environment, much more diversity was revealed from comparison of the age of pass rate at 50% and 75% between Chinese children and Japanese children. However, it showed that Kyoto Development Test was applicable to Chinese children because pass rate was far beyond 50 percent on the quantity items with the fitted age. 2) In repetition test, Chinese children made better than Japanese children because of contraction of syllables in course of using Chinese. The result indicated that Japanese criterion was not available for evaluating the abilities of numbers memorization of Chinese children. And it needed to regulate par of difficulty and alter the qualification level. 3) The pictures of telephone in the original examination items were different from those in Chinese culture, which caused pass rate lower, and thus they needed to be replaced.
